Hi Philippe,

As a young USAF Lieut. in 1952, badly bitten by the photography bug, I 
debated for weeks whether to buy a new Retina IIa or a used, but 
recently serviced Leica IIIa.? The Leica won out, and served me well 
until my eyesight changed and the LTM rangefinder/viewfinder combo 
became a challenge.? The Retina series was a very nice product.
